Despite offseason acquisitions of Isaiah Stewart and Quinten Post, along with the return of Zach Edey, the Grizzlies want to retain Olivier-Maxence Prosper, HoopsHype has learned. Prosper was a breakout player for the Grizzlies amid a difficult season, averaging 10.0 points on 54.9 percent shooting from the field and 40.5 percent from downtown, while starting 24 of 53 games played last season.
Shams Charania: The Golden State Warriors decided not to match Quinten Post's three-year, $30 million offer sheet with the Grizzlies, allowing the 7-footer to join Memphis, sources tell ESPN. The Grizzlies add Post to a reshaped frontline that includes No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer, Zach Edey, Isaiah Stewart and
You played with Zach Edey at Purdue, and now you’re playing with Ivica Zubac in Indiana. They’re both traditional back-to-the-basket, post-up guys, which is rare in today’s league. What aspects of your game do you feel translate well from when you played with Edey to now, hopefully with Zubac? Braden Smith: Obviously, two big dudes and being able to play with those guys and learn how to play with them. I think it was important for me, especially early on in my first two years of college, to be with Zach. So I think it just sets you up because if you are trying to go play in the league and do those things, that’s who you’re going to get. Those are the type of guys you’re going to have to play with and learn to play with, so for me, I think it’s just a head start to that. Obviously, having Zubac on the team and being able to play with another guy very similar to that. I think it only benefits me even more because I already know how to play with a caliber player like that, and it really just makes it that much better.

Players typically begin returning to normal walking and strength exercises after about three months. From there, basketball activity is slowly reintroduced. "Even when you repair ligaments — like he had on the other side — the tissue needs time to heal," Jung said. "The bone stress also needs time to heal, and then he has to rebuild his strength." Given this timeline, it's unlikely that Edey will participate in NBA Summer League or play in the 2026 FIBA World Cup for Team Canada.

"Best-case scenario is about three months, but realistically these injuries can take closer to six months," Strasser said. "The talus doesn’t always have the strongest blood supply, which can slow healing. If he’s fully back playing in six months, that would be a big win." Six months from now would be early September. The past two seasons, the Grizzlies have started preseason training camp in late September.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey has undergone season-ending surgery to address ongoing discomfort and bone stress in his left ankle, the team announced Tuesday. Edey's expected to make a full recovery ahead of next season. The Canadian big man made just 11 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 13.6 points, 11.1 boards, and 1.9 blocks.
Matt Infield: NEW: Zach Edey will undergo another surgery on his left ankle to address the continued discomfort from his stress reaction in his bone. Timetable to come after the surgery.
Chris Herrington: Don’t know if it will end up meaning much of anything, but Taj Gibson shares an agent with Zach Edey and had the same ankle stabilization surgery earlier in his career.
